5 Software
The operating software for the PILATUS detector system consists of two
software components:
• TVX
Data acquisition control and data analysis software
• Camserver
Operating software for the detector
Those two software packages are normally installed on one PC and
communicate with each other through an internal socket connection.
Figure 5 Normal operation with TVX and Camserver on one computer.
But it is also possible, to operate the detector without TVX and access
Camserver directly via a socket connection from another PC.
Figure 6 Operation with TVX and Camserver on separate computers.
